Product Overview
For access control installers fitting DS-K1T344 series face recognition terminals, the DS-KAB344-S1 provides a purpose-matched protective shield that improves the wall-mounted finish at entry points. Built from SGCC and measuring 178.08 x 85 x 42.06mm, this compact accessory fits cleanly around compatible terminals to give installations a more complete and professional appearance. Featuring a surface-mount design, it is suited to offices, apartment lobby entries, retail staff doors, warehouses and any controlled access doorway where the terminal is visible and regularly used. It also helps reduce incidental contact around the terminal body, which matters in high-traffic corridors or shared building entries. This is a model-specific accessory, so confirming terminal compatibility before ordering is essential.
Key Capabilities
DS-K1T344 Series Fit
The DS-KAB344-S1 is engineered to suit compatible Hikvision DS-K1T344 series face recognition terminals. Using a model-specific shield avoids the guesswork and fitting issues that come with generic brackets or custom covers sourced separately.
Surface Mount Design
This shield supports surface-mounted terminal installations on standard wall surfaces, making it practical for entry points where flush mounting is not structurally achievable or where cable routing dictates a surface finish.
SGCC Construction
The SGCC build provides a durable protective structure that suits professional access control environments. At approximately 210g, it adds meaningful coverage without creating a bulky or obtrusive installation profile.
Compact Protective Coverage
At 178.08 x 85 x 42.06mm, the shield adds a finished border around the terminal without extending the installation footprint excessively, which is useful in corridor entries or narrow wall sections with limited clearance.
Best For
- DS-K1T344 Series Installations: The shield is designed specifically for compatible DS-K1T344 series terminals, giving installers a matched accessory for a cleaner surface-mounted outcome.
- Office and Commercial Entry Points: Suited to staff doors, reception access points and controlled internal doorways where a tidy terminal installation reflects on the overall fit-out standard.
- Apartment and Strata Lobby Entries: Useful at shared building access points where residents interact with the terminal regularly and a neat, protected finish is preferred.
- Warehouse and Retail Staff Doors: Practical for back-of-house entries and storeroom access points where the terminal may be subject to frequent use or incidental contact.
Why Choose the DS-KAB344-S1
The DS-KAB344-S1 removes the guesswork from finishing a DS-K1T344 series terminal installation. Instead of adapting a generic housing or leaving the terminal without a cover, installers get a shield sized and shaped for the compatible terminal series, which means the fitting process is more straightforward and the result looks intentional. The SGCC construction keeps the accessory structurally sound without adding unnecessary bulk, and the 178.08 x 85 x 42.06mm footprint is compact enough for corridor and lobby installations with limited wall space. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-KAB344-S1 is best ordered alongside the terminal itself so that mounting height, cable path and wall surface can all be planned as a single installation decision rather than addressed as an afterthought.
Buyer Decision Tips
Compatibility Check: The DS-KAB344-S1 is designed for the DS-K1T344 series. If the terminal being installed is from a different Hikvision access product line, confirm the correct shield or bracket part number before ordering, as dimensions and mounting patterns differ between series.
Installation Planning: Plan the cable entry point, mounting height and wall surface type before fitting the shield. The DS-KAB344-S1 adds a protective cover around the terminal but does not change the terminal’s own environmental or weatherproof rating, so exposed outdoor locations require additional sealing considerations.

Ideal Use Cases
Office Staff Entry Doors
Gives DS-K1T344 series terminals a cleaner surface-mounted finish at internal staff doors and reception access points where a bare or unfinished installation would look out of place.
Apartment Lobby Access
Suitable for shared building entries where residents use the face recognition terminal daily and the installation is visible to visitors, making a tidy finished appearance a practical consideration.
Retail Back-of-House Doors
Practical for staff entry points and storeroom access where the terminal is used repeatedly throughout the day and incidental contact with the surrounding wall area is common.
Commercial Fit-Out Projects
Useful in professional fit-out projects where the face recognition terminal should look integrated into the entry point rather than simply attached to the wall surface with exposed edges.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing a compatible Hikvision DS-K1T344 series face recognition terminal and need a purpose-matched protective shield to complete the surface-mounted installation.
- Choose a different accessory if: You are working with a face recognition terminal from a different Hikvision series, need a flush-mount back box, require an angled rain guard for exposed outdoor mounting, or need a housing with an independent environmental protection rating.
- Check before ordering: Confirm the exact terminal model, the wall surface type, cable entry routing, and the clearance available within the 178.08 x 85 x 42.06mm footprint before placing the order.
FAQs
- What does the DS-KAB344-S1 actually do?
The DS-KAB344-S1 is a protective shield that fits around compatible Hikvision DS-K1T344 series face recognition terminals when they are surface-mounted to a wall. It improves the finished appearance of the installation and provides a degree of physical protection around the terminal body at entry points.
- Which Hikvision terminals is the DS-KAB344-S1 compatible with?
The DS-KAB344-S1 is designed for the Hikvision DS-K1T344 series face recognition terminals. It is a model-specific accessory and should not be assumed to fit terminals from other Hikvision access product lines. Confirm the terminal series before purchasing.
- What are the dimensions of the DS-KAB344-S1?
The DS-KAB344-S1 measures 178.08 x 85 x 42.06mm and has a net weight of approximately 210g. These dimensions should be checked against the available wall space and the specific terminal dimensions before installation to confirm the shield sits correctly without obstructing nearby surfaces.
- Does the DS-KAB344-S1 make the terminal weatherproof?
No. The DS-KAB344-S1 is a protective shield accessory and does not alter the environmental rating of the DS-K1T344 series terminal. For installations in semi-exposed or outdoor locations, the terminal’s own IP rating, cable sealing and wall position should all be assessed separately.
- Is the DS-KAB344-S1 suitable for use in apartment or strata buildings?
Yes. The shield is well suited to apartment lobby entries and strata building access points where DS-K1T344 series terminals are used. At these locations, the terminal is visible to residents and visitors regularly, so a neat, finished installation is a practical benefit. The DS-KAB344-S1 is part of the Security Wholesalers range and can be ordered alongside the compatible terminal.
- What should I confirm before installing the DS-KAB344-S1?
Before fitting the shield, confirm the terminal model number, mounting height, cable entry point, wall surface type and available clearance. Also verify that the shield does not obstruct the terminal’s face recognition sensor or user interaction area once installed.
